Description
The ISP requires you to obtain an IP address by DHCP
before connecting to the L2TP server.
Your ISP may require a particular MAC address in order for you
to connect to the Internet. This MAC address is the PC's MAC
address that your ISP had originally connected your Internet
connection to. Type in this MAC address in this section or use
the "Clone MAC Address" button to replace the WAN MAC
address with the MAC address of that PC (you have to be using
that PC for the Clone MAC Address button to work). To find out
the PC's MAC address see Appendix A. (see Glossary for an
explanation on MAC address)
The ISP gives you a static IP to be used to connect to the L2TP
server.
This is the IP address that your ISP has given you to establish a
L2TP connection.
Enter the Subnet Mask provided by your ISP
(e.g. 255.255.255.0)
Enter the IP address of the ISP Gateway
Enter the User Name provided by your ISP for the L2TP
connection. Sometimes called a Connection ID
Enter the Password provided by your ISP for the L2TP
connection
If your LAN has a L2TP gateway, then enter that L2TP gateway
IP address here. If you do not have a L2TP gateway then enter
the ISP's Gateway IP address above
This is optional. You can specify the maximum size of your
transmission packet to the Internet. Leave it as it is if you do not
wish to set a maximum packet size.
If you select "Continuous", the router will always connect to the
ISP. If the WAN line breaks down and links again, the router will
auto-reconnect to the ISP.
If you select "Connect On Demand", the router will auto-connect
to the ISP when someone want to use the Internet and keep
connected until the WAN idle timeout. The router will close the
WAN connection if the time period that no one is using the
Internet exceeds the "Idle Time".
If you select "Manual", the router will connect to ISP only when
you click "Connect" manually from the Web user interface. The
WAN connection will not be disconnected due to the idle timeout.
If the WAN line breaks down and latter links again, the router will
not auto-connect to the ISP.
